Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Body And Face Wash

Dove Men+Care is one of the brands that puts a remarkable amount of thoughtfulness into the overall experience of getting clean. We looked for body washes that include natural skin-friendly ingredients, with a packaging able to perform while our hands are the most slippery as well as formulations that smell damn good. Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Body and Face Wash checks all these boxes.

This brand is all about healthy skin and it also happens to be endorsed by dermatologists. The Extra Fresh body wash actually smells woodsy and clean. The innovative "micromoisture" technology that activates as the product suds up doesn’t leave your skin feeling tight or cracked once you towel off. This body wash is gentle enough to take care of both your body and your face. It rinses clean and isn’t filmy. The bottle is easy to hold onto and you don’t have to fight with a slippery screw cap to get to the wash. The bottle also features a flip cap at the bottom so you can use every last bit of product. At this price point, the wash is a steal.BUY NOW $3.91 at Amazon.com

Kiehl’s Ultimate Man Body Scrub Soap

This man-sized bar of soap gets it right. It has a rich, exfoliating lather that doesn’t leave an oily residue. It feels deeply nourishing. Natural oat bran, oat kernel and pumice exfoliate nicely without the sensation of dragging sandpaper over your skin.

It’s important to get rid of the dead surface cells at least once or twice a week. Exfoliating improves circulation, gets rid of toxins and unclogs the gunked-up pores that can turn into body acne or ingrown hairs. It’s also important to exfoliate with quality ingredients. Yes, men have thicker skin, but aggressively scrubbing with abrasive additives can cause skin damage and speed up the aging process. There is a reason why this luscious, creamy soap is a cult favorite. Soap hack: To extend the life of your bar, cut it in two and only bring half into the shower at a time.BUY NOW $15.00 at Kiehls.com

Ursa Major Citrus Riot Body Wash

Vermont-based natural skincare brand Ursa Major is a favorite among men’s grooming experts, so we had to test the new Citrus Riot body wash.There was nothing disappointing to report about this masculine smelling mix. Zesty citrus and woodsy notes combine with ginger, vetiver, cedar, and fir. This isn’t your girlfriend’s shower gel: It smells good like a clean dude should.

It doesn’t come in a giant jug, but it’s a concentrated wash so a little goes a long way. You’ll find that if you use a washcloth, you can get away with using less product. And it does have a convenient pump. This product is 100% organic and, like good food, it’s a bit pricier. But, hey you get what you pay for. If you care about using chemical-free products (and you should), you won’t be disappointed. Ursa is a brand devoted to advancing “green chemistry” and delivering high-performing, refined men’s grooming products. Citrus Riot Body Wash makes the cut. BUY NOW $24.00 at Amazon.com

Old Spice Dirt Destroyer Body Wash

This is one of the more powerful body washes in the Old Spice family. The thicker formulation boasts more cleanser and a bolder scent. It also has Denver Bronco linebacker Von Miller as its spokesperson: Old Spice is the “official deodorant and body wash” of the NFL.

Use it on those days when you need to channel your inner Super Bowl champion. Keep a bottle of Old Spice in your gym bag or locker. (Using a body wash when you shower at the gym is much neater than carrying a bar of gooey soap around.) After your training session, lather up, alternating between 30 seconds of cold water and two minutes of hot water to speed muscle recovery up. The hot water brings the blood closer to the skin’s surface while the cold water constricts the blood vessels and helps circulation. Shower, rinse and repeat.BUY NOW $4.99 at Target.com

Every Man Jack Eucalyptus Body Wash

Eucalyptus and spearmint essential oils make this one of the freshest smelling body washes on the list. This fragrance is refreshingly natural. It’s not overpowering, overly perfumed or synthetic. And you can safely pick Every Man Jack's body wash in the long-running liquid versus bar soap debate.

This sudsy wash is made of all-natural ingredients including coconut-derived surfactants (the stuff that gets the lather going). It skips the added chemicals used to hold some bar soaps together. A single-serving-friendly bottle is also more sanitary than a bacteria-collecting, passed-around bar of soap. You get your money’s worth with Every Man Jack’s generous supply. However, the cap is a little tricky to open with soapy hands.BUY NOW $6.00 at Amazon.com

Nivea For Men Active Clean Body Wash

This new Nivea body wash features the latest hero in the world of men’s grooming: charcoal. Because of its ability to draw up impurities like sweat and oil from the skin, this ingredient can be found in the latest versions of men’s washes, masks and soaps.

And while it’s not intended for facial use, one of our testers has adopted Active Clean as a facial cleanser. It makes sense. When your pores are clean and clear, your mug looks better and brighter. And unearthing excess oil and grime prevents shaving bumps and pimples, including gross body acne and painful ingrown hairs.BUY NOW $11.37 at Amazon.com
